Vegan Verification Programme for Cosmetics and Personal Care
Veganism has become a mainstream lifestyle choice adopted by an ever-increasing number of consumers, who view it as healthier and more sustainable. With veganism growing in prominence, the beauty industry has had to adapt to growing consumer demand for vegan-friendly products.
Driven by growing consumer awareness of the usage of animal-derived ingredients and increasing demand for vegan-certified products, vegan-friendly beauty care could become the standard for the consumption of cosmetic products.
In partnership with the Vegan Society, Eurofins companies have developed a robust Vegan Verification Programme.
This innovative methodology provides a complete solution for cosmetics and personal care products which establishes whether any animal products or by-products have been used in their manufacturing and development process. Vegan Verification helps to specify vegan cosmetics products using a phased approach covering:
- Toxicological and Regulatory Assessment
- Animal DNA Analysis
- On-site Audit
- Declarations of conformity / labelling
Upon successful completion of testing, clients can qualify for the use of both the Eurofins Vegan Verified Logo and the Vegan Society Trademark through licencing, on their productsand/or promotional material.
This complete programme allows manufacturers, brands and retailers to properly test their products and label them as 100% vegan.
Note that Eurofins Cosmetics & Personal Care network of laboratories has also developed in vitro safety tests that are entirely vegan, supporting growing consumer demand for vegan supply chains.
